Let’s talk Skin needling -
What is Skin needling ?
Skin needling is a form of collagen induction therapy which works to stimulate the skin’s own internal healing responses to result in a fresher, younger, healthier looking complexion.
Collagen is an essential protein that keeps the skin looking youthful, firm and supple - and as we age, our bodies naturally decrease in their collagen production. This contributes to the development of wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Skin can also lose collagen due to skin injuries such as stretch marks and acne scars.
When the skin is microneedled, thousands of microscopic needles puncture the skin to create microchannels, which allow deeper product pe*******on of hydrating treatments such as Hyaluronic Acid.
The trauma of skin needling also prompts the derma (a deep layer of skin) to produce more collagen and elastin to heal itself, thus healing skin imperfections along with it.
Skin needling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the complexion and slow the progression of the visible signs of ageing.
Why should I microneedle my skin?
The benefits of microneedling can be dramatic for rejuvenating and refreshing the skin. If you’re seeking youthful, bouncy skin that is visibly hydrated and glowing from within, then skin needling might just be the answer to your prayers!
Skin needling helps with a range of common skin concerns, including:
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation
Acne scars
Stretch marks
Loose skin
Dry skin
Dull/rough skin
Is there anyone who shouldn’t do microneedling?
There are some side effects that are possible with microneedling, including immediate swelling, redness and skin flaking.
For this reason, it’s not recommended to perform a microneedling treatment right before a big event - instead, you’ll want to allow yourself around a week of recovery time to ensure that your skin is in tip-top condition.
You may also wish to check with your healthcare provider before microneedling if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or active acne, or if you’re prone to keloid scarring.
